This study describes the Virtual Programmable Logic Controller (Virtual PLC), a web‐based system for PLC education that consists of (1) educational simulations to help students visualize abstract concepts, practice programming and device interfacing skills, and understand problem‐solving processes; and (2) a simple intelligent tutoring system. Results from two preliminary evaluations are also presented. Index Terms—PLC, intelligent tutoring system, simulation, manufacturing engineering education. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
